They spent two nights at around 8100 meters without any water, oxigen and a tent when they contacted BC the last time Eross reported that Kiss had fallen. csutkababahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18396714101462392743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-19405295368491826942013-05-24T00:58:47.164-05:002013-05-24T00:58:47.164-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Thomas Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12531713637136616414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-78461059047671994602013-05-23T06:02:45.176-05:002013-05-23T06:02:45.176-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Daisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00658263914797665622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-7314667136546132672013-05-22T14:05:48.289-05:002013-05-22T14:05:48.289-05:00Sorry, I wanted to write all peaks of the European...Sorry, I wanted to write all peaks of the European Alps above 4,000 (four thousand) metres.PraeriePantherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02682084480095830032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-225953874467300712013-05-22T13:57:04.969-05:002013-05-22T13:57:04.969-05:00It is really sad.

The elder of the two climbers, Zsolt Eross, was the most successful Hungarian climber, with 9 8000-metre peaks already (8 of them without supplemental O2, some of them solo). He lost his right foot from below the knee after an accident 3 years ago, but kept on climbing and succeeded on Lhotse. The younger guy was 26, Peter Kiss, one of the biggest climbing talents in Hungary. He climbed all peaks of the European Alps rising above 400 metres (all 82 of them). He was a Himalaya novice, but a darn good climber. This is a huge loss for the small Hungarian climbing community.PraeriePantherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02682084480095830032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-32380740161597948542013-05-22T13:49:22.610-05:002013-05-22T13:49:22.610-05:00:( about iranian team there is no news ... hope th...:( about iranian team there is no news ... hope they get BCMagnitohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09340236469210594092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-1811707954952119462013-05-22T13:42:16.864-05:002013-05-22T13:42:16.864-05:00Thanks for the update PrariePanther.

They did not make it back to camp IV, and there is no radio contact with them for more than a day now. Since it was a summit attempt, they did not have any camp gear nor a stove, so there is not much hope of finding them alive.
